Nikolay Sergeevich Rozhko

Despite the fact that during the arrest, the "repentant video" said that he was detained for comments and registration in the chatbot "victory", the man is charged only under Part 1 of Article 342 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Belarus. He is accused of participating in protests in August 2020. Information about Nikolai's arrest appeared in the security forces' Telegram channels on August 18. In the security forces' video, Nikolai said that he went to protests in the summer of 2020, wrote comments in chats, but "doesn't even remember which ones", and also that he registered in the chatbot "Plan Victory". The video showed a photo of Nikolai at a protest in Minsk, as well as screenshots of comments.
